Rack Installation
This chapter provides advice and instructions for
optionally
mounting your system in a rack.
Please contact your sales representative to order optional mounting rails for your chassis.
2.1 Preparing for Setup
The box in which the system was shipped should include the hardware needed to install it
into the rack. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation.
Choosing a Setup Location
•
The system should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas
where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated.
•
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack so that you can open the front door completely
(~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow
sufficient space for airflow and access when servicing.
•
This product should be installed only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment
rooms, service closets, etc.).
•
This product is not suitable for use with visual display workplace devices according to §2
of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
Rack Precautions
•
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are extended to the floor so that
the full weight of the rack rests on them.
•
In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack
installations, the racks should be coupled together.
•
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a server or other component from
the rack.
•
Extend only one server or component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously
may cause the rack to become unstable.
